An annual awards over here in the UK. It means Music Of Black Origin.
I would assume that is what most people mean when they say black music. Not that white people don't enjoy it, or even play it but that the origin of that type is black culture. Same as one could say Indian music to mean music that is of a style recognised as being of Indian origin.

I'd say that's pretty racist. - 22/03/2010 01:53:59 PM 782 Views
I don't think it's racist at all - 22/03/2010 07:15:55 PM 839 Views

Not "higher" nor "lower," but "different" would be the word to use here - 29/03/2010 07:46:15 PM 720 Views

My question for you was on that one line that Larry responded to. - 29/03/2010 08:46:26 PM 742 Views
I was thinking the same thing as Rebekah - 23/03/2010 07:15:51 AM 779 Views

i'd say the actions in the commercial are more racist than the words - 22/03/2010 10:00:02 PM 759 Views
It would not float here in the US - 22/03/2010 10:07:08 PM 774 Views
Agreed. - 23/03/2010 05:36:14 AM 927 Views
Could you please expand on one point in your reasoning? - 23/03/2010 07:20:31 AM 779 Views
It's not race specific music if it's enjoyed/performed/presented by various races. - 23/03/2010 07:32:33 AM 1018 Views

Nice term, if a bit clumsy - 23/03/2010 11:10:34 AM 733 Views
The trouble lies in historical neuroses cooked in our melting pot, I think. - 23/03/2010 11:29:06 AM 775 Views
I suspect so as well - 23/03/2010 12:32:00 PM 870 Views
Well, the thing is, "American" is PURELY a culture, not a race. - 23/03/2010 01:55:59 PM 986 Views
That's part of what I was thinking - 23/03/2010 07:50:19 AM 1100 Views
Only if it's racist to mention the fact that different races exist. Which seems to be the US view. - 23/03/2010 09:24:23 AM 769 Views
Agreed - 23/03/2010 10:21:59 AM 801 Views
Not at all, the problem is when people seem to say something is exclusive to a given race. - 23/03/2010 11:51:06 AM 1016 Views
I agree with some of what you say, but I think you're assuming more than is warranted. - 23/03/2010 02:33:34 PM 725 Views
perhaps not as default... - 23/03/2010 03:08:19 PM 803 Views
The term encompasses listeners, performers and presenters. - 23/03/2010 04:42:55 PM 822 Views
So it's really not about skin color any more, right? - 23/03/2010 09:12:20 PM 853 Views
it's racist and unacceptable. - 23/03/2010 09:07:10 PM 888 Views
